Picture your mornings here: sunrises on the screened porch, cool air drifting in while the chickens stir in their tractors and the horses wander toward the run-in barn. By late summer, you're picking wild plums, nectarines, and peaches from the trees behind the barn, and the only traffic is the breeze moving through the pasture. Set on 5+ acres, this three-bedroom home gives everyone their own quiet corner, each room ready to make your own. When it's time to work, Spectrum fiber internet keeps you connected without ever having to leave the peace of the countryside. The basement is ready for your personal touch for additional living space. Step outside and the possibilities open up even more. The 33x55 pole barn with lean-to and 50-amp electric is ready for equipment, a workshop, storage, or the project you've been waiting for space to start. The land is already divided into pastures, each with electric fencing. One has a 12x16 run-in barn (2020) and hay circle feeder, another is set up with chicken tractors, and the back pasture already has wooden stakes in place for permanent fencing. A new concrete pad is framed with electricity run to it, ready to become your next shed or garage. Best of all, the big-ticket items are behind you: roof (2019), water heater (2022), HVAC (2024, 5-yr warranty), washer/dryer (2026, 5-yr warranty), radon mitigation (2024), crawlspace vapor barrier (2026), east wall sill plate (2021), steel pier under the NW corner (2022, lifetime warranty), and precautionary stabilizing rods on the east basement wall (lifetime warranty). All that's left is to move in and start living the country life you've been imagining.
